This house has zero curb appeal, but judging from the updates upthread, maybe $775k for a 2br/1ba isn't such crazytown after all.

This has tons of curb appeal. Turns out that just about the only thing I like about it. The inside is in serious need of renovation.
I mean, all it needs is cosmetic updates. Not "serious" renovations. It looks like it's in great condition to just move in. I'm betting it goes very very quickly, and for at LEAST 10% over asking. Let's check in here in a month!
Blows my mind that the Emerald Street house is still on the market after 15 days.

Me Looking at pictures 1-12: OMG so cute. Love how they kept the character of the house and it doesn't look like every other white and grey rowhouse remodel.
Me Looking at the kitchens, bathrooms, and basement: That is going to cost a lot to update.

I find the little sideways duplexes on Pickford Place sort of fascinating. This one, though, seems kind of odd, with that spiral staircase and the two-story dining room.
We owned a place on Pickford about a decade ago, though the layout of ours was vastly different than this one. We had more usable outdoor space (a deck off the side), a better downstairs layout and no spiral staircase (have fun getting mattresses up that). The bedrooms upstairs in this one seem to be bigger than ours were. It was fine when we were newly married and we had a kid while living there, but things got tight *real* quick after that.
I don't understand putting what amounts to an atrium in such a tiny house.
Anyway, DC is crazy so this'll go above asking in like a week. These Pickford houses seem to rarely come on the market, and they're good condo alternatives, even if they're oddly laid out.
One more thing now that I remember it. There's a very narrow alley that runs behind these houses on this side of Pickford, too narrow for cars. But such a low-visibility alley means it's perfect for junkies to get their fix. Mainly they would wander down there from the bus stop at H and 8th, which always was a s---show. No idea if it's still an issue.

With a not a lot of new listings in Capitol Hill proper, here are three in Kingman Park fairly close in.
$649,000: 2BR/2.5BA, 1,000 sf
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1615-Rosedale-St-NE-20002/home/10114143
This end-unit flip has been relisted after first coming on the market in September at $680,000. I wonder why it hasn't sold.
$825,000: 4BR/3.5BA, 2,036 sf
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1631-F-St-NE-20002/home/10350193
Large end-unit. The interior isn't anything spectacular and the outside has no curb appeal IMO, but for that amount of space (and windows!) I expect this should go fast.
$850,000: 3BR/2.5BA, 1,636 sf
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/617-16th-St-NE-20002/home/10113892
The house seems nice enough, but I do not understand the "pearl bailey" word art. Why would someone put Pearl Bailey's name on their wall?

I actually like the outside a lot more than the inside. The exterior is at least classic CH rowhome. The inside says "rental."

I'm not usually a fan of painted brick, but this red, next to painted rowhouses on either side, kind of works. The inside seems reasonably well done. I'd expect this to go for around $1.1 million or so.

That is neither stunning nor Victorian anymore. The built-in kennel is a cute touch, though.

Speaking of which, this house didn't seem to hit this thread when it was on the market:
4BR/2BA, 1700 sf. Listed at $875,000:
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1311-D-St-NE-20002/home/9913298
It sold for $1,105,000—$230,000 (26%) over list.
This is incredible. There's not anything particularly outstanding about that place. Oh how I wish I was in a position to be selling my place on the hill right now.
What’s outstanding is that it’s zoned for Maury. Our very similar house is two blocks from here and zoned for Miner. We would probably get $850 for ours.
Ha! I'm the next poster and we crossed emails saying the same thing. 100% the Maury effect. That said, you may be wrong about how much you'd get. We were near the 13th & E corner, IB for Miner, and got $950K for a house not renovated since 2006 or so (sold to a developer). There is apparently a ton of zoning flexibility b/c it's just outside the CHHD but actually basic on the Hill as folks now conceive of it.

The takeaway from this and the other crazy over listing sale in this thread is that Maury is now akin to Brent in terms of the IB price bump.
